Victorian beauty! This century-old charmer, bursting with historic detail, is a Contributing Resource in the National Registry of Historic Houses in Montgomery County. Located in the historic district of the desirable and convenient North Takoma neighborhood and twice featured on the annual Historic Takoma house tour, this house is just 3 blocks to the Red LineTakoma metro stop. It boasts the largest parcel on the block, more than a third of an acre. The spacious garden is perfect for kids’ play or adult entertaining!

The house features all the charm of the Victorian age, including an inviting front porch with porch swing and formal front hall with arches, custom millwork, and original ornate barley twist stair rails. Parlor and dining room both feature pocket doors and original hardwood floors are gleaming — pine throughout the house and rare curly maple in the kitchen.

Two distinctive Rumford fireplaces with decorative terra-cotta surrounds grace the living and dining rooms. Although records show this house dating from 1908, some experts have suggested it was built during the second wave of Takoma Park development in the 1890's. Contemporary amenities include a rear addition by noted local architect Paul Treseder that created a generous-sized kitchen with breakfast area overlooking the greenery of the beautiful garden. Kitchen features ample quality hardwood cabinetry, new quartz counters, Bosch dishwasher, Jenn-Air range, and an original pantry turned baking nook.

Entertain in style in the large dining room with bay window and ornate chair rail. Off the dining room is a cozy flex room — den, office or bedroom with attached updated full bath. Upstairs are 3 good-sized bedrooms including the primary with ensuite bath and an updated hall bath. Upper level 2 is a gorgeous large loft space with vaulted ceilings, skylight, exposed beams, and original cedar closet. Currently used as a family room and office, it could also be a lovely primary bedroom. The lower level is unfinished storage space with washer and dryer. The rear yard features a beautiful patio and flower beds designed to showcase the expansive size of the lot. Two-zoned central air throughout the house and mini-split in the third level loft.

You are a few minutes’ walk to Metro and a couple more to all the amenities of Old Town Takoma Park. Whole Foods and all the amenities of downtown Silver Spring are a quick drive away. This lovely house couldn't be more convenient, yet is tucked away on a quiet street. Become the next stewards of this grand house and enjoy all the many charms that Takoma Park living offers!
